Question: [M] The covariance matrix below was obtained from a Landsat image of the Columbia River in Washington, using data from three spectral bands. Let \({x_1},{x_2},{x_3}\) denote the spectral components of each pixel in the image. Find a new variable of the form \({y_1} = {c_1}{x_1} + {c_2}{x_2} + {c_3}{x_3}\) that has maximum possible variance, subject to the constraint that \(c_1^2 + c_2^2 + c_3^2 = 1\). What percentage of the total variance in the data is explained by \({y_1}\)?
\[S = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{29.64}&{18.38}&{5.00}\\{18.38}&{20.82}&{14.06}\\{5.00}&{14.06}&{29.21}\end{array}} \right]\]
Orthogonally diagonalize the matrices in Exercises 13–22, giving an orthogonal matrix \(P\) and a diagonal matrix \(D\). To save you time, the eigenvalues in Exercises 17–22 are: (17) \( - {\bf{4}}\), 4, 7; (18) \( - {\bf{3}}\), \( - {\bf{6}}\), 9; (19) \( - {\bf{2}}\), 7; (20) \( - {\bf{3}}\), 15; (21) 1, 5, 9; (22) 3, 5.

Question: Mark Each statement True or False. Justify each answer. In each part, A represents an \(n \times n\) matrix.
10.Determine which of the matrices in Exercises 7–12 are orthogonal. If orthogonal, find the inverse.
10. \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}{1/3}&{\,\,2/3}&{\,\,2/3}\\{2/3}&{\,\,1/3}&{ - 2/3}\\{2/3}&{ - 2/3}&{\,\,1/3}\end{aligned}} \right)\)
Suppose A is a symmetric \(n \times n\) matrix and B is any \(n \times m\) matrix. Show that \({B^T}AB\), \({B^T}B\), and \(B{B^T}\) are symmetric matrices.
